Nkana edge KCC FC to set date with Zamalek – Kawowo

KCC FC’s campaign in this year’s Orange Caf Champions league came to a halt after the side lost 2-1 at home to Zambia’s Nkana FC in the return leg of the first round match played at Namboole stadium on Saturday afternoon to bow out 3-4 on aggregate.

KCC FC started brightly and should have gone ahead in the 7th minute but Michael Birungi’s shot inside the 16 yard area was blocked by goalie Charles Mweemba.

Tony Odur also got close in the 16th minute but his header off Brian Majwega free kick went over the bar.

From then on, Nkana FC got into the game and deservedly got in front with Claude Bwalya netting on the half hour mark.

The Nkana number 14 slotted home from the edge of the 18 yard box after a good pass from danger man Ronald Kampamba.

The first half ended 1-0 in favour of the visitors but KCC FC replied three minutes after recess with a brilliant goal by Majwega,

Majwega beautifully converted a free kick from the edge of the area after Tony Odur was fouled.

In search for a second goal, Coach George ‘Best’ Nsimbe introduced Herman Wasswa for defender Ibrahim Kizza but it was Nkana who restored the lead in the 60th minute thanks to Christopher Munthali strike from close range.
